This project involves construction of a Linear Alkyl Benzene (LAB) facility located at Ruwais in Abu Dhabi. Construction of linear alkyl benzene (LAB) plant with production capacity of 150,000 tonnes per annum of LAB upon completion and will be fully integrated within the Adnoc Refining complex in Ruwais, taking feedstocks of kerosene and benzene and benefiting from the suite of utilities and services of the Ruwais complex. Lab, also known as detergent alkylate, is the most commonly used chemical compound used in the manufacturing of biodegradable household and industrial detergents. Exports from the facility will be aimed at the Indian and South Asian markets. Initial engineering work on the facility is scheduled to begin in 2018 and commercial operation is expected to begin in 2021.
